ok i fight in big groups and i dont have time to change eq
so when i kill something i want a trigger to check if the xp was more than what i need to get

this is what i have so far
#trigger You receive &xp of %2 experience points
score
that works fine

#trigger Exp needed: &%*tot Exp Total: %5
#MATH &res (@tot-@XP)
#If {@res < 0, lev, fig}

variables res tot and xp
aliases lev and fight
i cant get the res variable to get a value
what am i doing wrong?

%if(@tot>@xp,"fig",%if(@tot<@xp,"lev"))
it works perfectly

You were doing two things wrong. The first was using &res instead of res as the variable name in the #MATH command.

The second was attempting to use the syntax from the %if function with the #IF command. The #IF command would be more suitable but only if you use the correct syntax with it.

You also have some overly broad wildcards and are misusing the %1-%99 syntax. It's clear that all your wildcards in these two triggers are intended to match numbers, so either %d or %n would be a better choice than * (which is the default for &xp and %2) or %* (which you used with &tot). The best choice is probably %n.

%1-%99 are intended for use in the Value section of triggers, not the pattern section. They will work in the pattern, but should be in the correct order. Since your second trigger only saves two parameters in the pattern it shouldn't use %5. You don't use that value, so it doesn't actually even need to be in the pattern.

Another solution:
Pattern: You receive &%nxp of %n experience points
Value: score

Pattern: Exp needed: &%ntot
Value: #IF (@tot <= @xp) {lev} {fight}}
